Creeker's Weekend Accomplishments

[Warren Wilson]

As a guy who does his woodworking under his carport in all weather with teeny tools, I am shy to share anything with this august crowd, but I finally finished a microwave stand I've been picking away at for a few months. (Work got in the way: just bad judgement on my part).

It started with buying an Incra box joint which forced me to make my wife a paper towel dispenser: then we needed a microwave stand to match.

That is the troublesome paper towel dispenser.

Then the microwave stand became inevitable.

For a fellow who has to drag his wobbly old contractor saw out of the basement every time he wants to use it, the fun is in the playing around:

Warren, that is some awesome work there!

[Mike Ontko]

Warren, you're clearly doing some serious "playing around" there. Nice details!

It's not the tools but the hands (and head) that make the work!

...and I especially like how you built that bottle of Glenlivet into your cabinet

[Warren Wilson]

Thanks, guys -- I was wondering if anyone would pick up the brand on the bottle!

Warren, your paper towel dispenser is causing trouble for me! I showed it to my wife, who reminded me that I should make one "like that." Our cheapo plastic one broke recently. I am procrastinating. Nice cabinet!

Late to the party here as the next weekend is already starting, but I got all of the construction work done on a bench project I've been working on last weekend and just have some final things to care for in the joinery before finishing it. This is a bench made from re-claimed wood (it's either very old white pine or very old doug fir and hard as a rock) and has an asymmetric design with the "leg" on one end bent down using hand-cut dovetails with the leg on the other inset a few inches and sitting in a slight rebate under the top. I'll be posting a full build thread once it's complete. This bench will go in the new bathroom/changing room at the barn we keep our horses at...and will have my stamp on the top...'just in case someone wants something made.
